DVB-T Device As Video Input

[samsc]

to use a dv-cam is no problem - but like to use a bnc-cable out of my dv-cam, into a video mixer and finally into my mac-mini without converter boxes. maybe i think in the wrong direction but i'm looking for a really cheap way of doing it. again: please ignore quality issues.

you have to use a convertor of somekind somewhere-

use a canopus video to dv convertor with a mac mini-

there are also usb to video convertors-
but i never use those-

I understand in many cases the point is a cheaper solution but perhaps it's better to focus on something more specific to what will work.

The best solution I have had is stacking Macs. The output of one I feed to the input of the machine I have running Catalyst. This proves to work best.

Something not noted yet is the significance of delay. Each device in the chain creates a frame delay. This is especially true of cheaper or lower quality devices.
